Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. Recent research reveals that tiny life
forms in our gut known as the microbiome, significantly
influence our emotions, stress levels, and behaviors.
When we eliminate waste, we release billions
of microbes, including beneficial bacteria essential
for our health. Fecal microbiota transplants
have shown promise, improving mental health in
individuals with disorders like depression. Studies
indicate a diverse microbiome enhances mood -regulating
hormones and overall personality traits. As gut
bacteria communicate with our brain, they regulate
critical hormones, including serotonin. Embracing
a varied diet rich in fiber and probiotics, such
as yogurt and kimchi, can support gut health
and boost happiness. In The Phoenician Scheme,
director Wes Anderson explores the intricate
world of 20th century capitalism through the
eyes of globetrotting tycoon Zaza Korda, played
by Benicio del Toro. This film, while tongue
-in -cheek, delves into themes of wealth and
family, highlighting Korda's strained relationship
with his daughter, Liesel, portrayed by Mia Threepleton.
Set in the 1950s, the film combines humor and
existential questions, prompting audiences to
consider the value of fortune in the absence
of family. With a stellar cast, including Michael
Cera, the Phoenician scheme balances sincerity
and caricature in typical Anderson fashion. Well,
all righty, folks, it's time for the quote of
the day. And today... Our quote comes from the
American poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson.
And he said, What lies behind us and what lies
before us are tiny matters compared to what lies
within us. And that's a wrap for this morning.
